A Different Kind of Love Story
Just like Pan's Labrynth this is a gorgeous fairytale with a whole new twist. I enjoyed the magical layers and depth that went into this film. Although I know many found it slow in comparison to Pan's Labrynth, however this film was not meant to be an extension of his previous masterpiece, rather it's meant to be a masterpiece all on its own. Personally, I believe it's accomplished just this.

Good but hard
Rebel Inc.
The tutorial offers a small insite to the game but is a little placid
The actual game in contrast is the other extreme and I found too much of a challenge to the point its become boring.. the enemy spawns everywhere and corruption is rife and impossible to stop.
All in all good game mechanics but too hard

Not quite the story I was expecting - the book actually feels like bits of different stories have been randomly pieces together, often meaning things get a bit confusing.
As the story flows along, I also found myself liking the two main characters less and less, to the point of indifference, which makes the twist ending fall a bit flat.
There are some gripping moments along the way and the book is easy to read, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed overall.

This sci-fi thriller turned out WAY better than I expected. The description only scratches the surface of this well paced Keanu Reeves flick. The acting was great and the cinematography/effects were just right. The story unfolds beautifully with plenty of twists and turns throughout. I only found a few things predictable but it definitely didn't take away from the thought-provoking intensity of the story. If you're a sci-fi lover like me you'll really enjoy this film. Worth a watch!

I can sum this up as a if you enjoyed the Wheel of Time series with it's multitude of characters and in-depth lands then this is for you. You may need a notebook to keep everything straight though as there is a lot.
I enjoyed the plot and the massive world building but for me it was too much to keep straight and I found myself going back to remember who was who and how they go into the bigger story.

A strange, stoner slasher produced and directed by David Arquette (Scream). It's quite a decent modern slasher, quite odd but the back story as to why this guy goes off the rails killing hippies is explained. Less so the high regard Ronald Regan is given. It's funny in places, has a fair bit of gore, I found the tripping hallucinations a tad annoying. There is even a brief cameo from Courtney Cox-Arquette. Overall pretty good compared to many recent slasher offerings.

Well written
Characters were well built
One of the best reads I've read this year
Caraval was one of my favorite reads so far this year. It was very different from what I usually read, and I'm glad I found it. I love reading about whole new places that aren't part of our world. Stephanie Garber is excellent at descriptive passages of scenery. Her characters help the reader to immerse themselves in her book. Truly magical to read and imagine.

The pace is fast and consistent. (4 more)
The style of writing draws you in and keeps you wanting more
The plot twists and turns are clever, unpredictable and addictive.
It is an easy, intelligent and clever read.
The authors experience as a former lawyer adds a depth of knowledge and understanding of the justice system usually found lacking in other books of this genre.

This was a book picked by my monthly book club, at first i was a bit dubious as to wether i would like it or not. At first I found the story a bit slow going, but by a quarter of the way through I was loving it. I liked the difference of having two stories running side by side with each other, and also how neatly the author ties both of the stories up and the end of the book.

For me parts of this confused me.. and then found me later.. lol. It was a very exciting book.. it was fast paced.. it moved.. and it was very intriquing and interesting. I couldn't wait for it to be over... and yet I didn't want it to end.. there is love.. hardships.. anger.. parts made me smile.. parts made me want to throw things against the wall.. lol it was very good story and im glad i got to review it
